Olivia, Country Girls Can Survive {Stanardsville Senior Portraits}

I’ve always loved the song “Country Boys Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr., but always felt it left out the country girls. Olivia is definitely a country girl. Her property has these old buildings and I loved being there. The view of the mountains was breathtaking. I was completely in love.

However, we also visited a property in her family on another road and I was floored!! It was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen. These are properties that have been in her family for generations. The fact she has such deep roots here in Greene made her shoot extra special to me.

It was an overcast day, but I love me overcast shooting days, especially when we’re shooting in the hot part of the year here in Central Virginia. However at the end of her shoot the sun got below the clouds and we were blessed with a sunset more gorgeous than I’ve ever seen so we raced to a location to photograph her with it and I swear her presence and warm smile made it even more breathtaking. (Peep the orange stool before it went in the pond with Kristin.) Thank you Olivia for allowing me to be a part of this special time in your life!! ❤️
